One Million Experiments AirGo & Interrupting Criminalization

The crew snuck back into the lab for this bonus episode of One Million Experiments! Dame and Kiss talk with Martina and Matt from Collective Justice, a Seattle-based restorative justice organization brought together by a diverse group of survivors and imprisoned community members in Washington State. Between their work with survivors of violence and survivors within the "belly of the beast" of jails and prisons, Collective Justice shows the revolutionary possibilities of connecting the different dots on the spectrum of harm and violence.

This is it! We've reached the end of Season 2, and the last episode of 1ME (for now). And who better to close us out than our OG partner in decriminalization and 1ME creator Mariame Kaba. Mariame returns to the show to discuss what she's learned across twenty episodes of the show, the importance of movement-led archival work, how she understands the shifts in our political landscape since 2020, and the importance of the choir. Let's go out in style!

On the penultimate episode of One Million Experiments, our hosts turn to collaborator and movement mentor Andrea J. RItchie. Andrea, who is the cofounder of Interrupting Criminalization, talks about how the emergent power of movement can sustain us as people and communities in the face of state violence. She also explores what she learned in the creation of her new book Practicing New Worlds: Abolition and Emergent Strategies.

The 1ME squad has the honor of talking with Vivien Sansour, the founder of the Palestine Heirloom Seed Library (PHSL), which seeks to preserve and promote heritage and threatened seed varieties, traditional Palestinian farming practices, and the cultural stories and identities associated with them. Recorded five weeks into the 2023 flashpoint of genocidal violence enacted upon Gazans and Palestinians across Israel/Palestine, Vivien reflects on how she is surviving from across the ocean, how she loves seeds more than ever before, and what is at stake for all of us in this test of our humanity.

The 1ME crew welcomes the homies from Just Practice Collaborative, a training and mentoring group focused on sustaining a community of practitioners that provide community-based accountability and support structures for all parties involved with incidents and patterns of sexual, domestic, relationship, and intimate community violence. Collaborative members Shira Hassan and Deana Lewis talk through the intentionality of their design, what Transformative Justice should and shouldn’t be used for, and the importance of relationship to political experimentation.
